So cruising around in the F today & it never fails that I cant help but mess with the paddle shift(as my woman always says 'im racing myself')

So im down this farm road thats about straight as an arrow for a solid mile with 1 stop light. I caught the red light, pop it over to manual mode & mash it on the green run it up to almost 7k & tag the paddle & caught a legit tire chirp shifting into 2nd...1st time thats happened, kinda cool & honestly I didnt even know it was capable in the F. It was a manual transmission like chirp going into 2nd...well with all that malarkey being said...DAMN I love my F!!!

 

^I do the same thing, love it

 

Nice..!!

It happens easier when your running a Full CAT back exhaust system... 2nd & 3rd too...

Sounds like fun! If you go full bolt-ons you'll spin street tires all the way through second, and chirp third.

 

I make my girl squeel at least twice a week

 

Would that be considered seat of your pants HP gains?

 

^ naw, that's proven power. The real deal

 

haha this made me laugh! i'm right there with ya buddy.. my best comment yet was " OH MY GOD the seatbelt just grabbed my *****!" Lexus PCS at its best

the exhaust note during downshift with a full cutback still puts a smile on my face every day. It reminds me of heel/toe shifting in my old manuals.

 

Catback is next on the list, only mod I have is intake...looking to make a custom Corsa set up once I find a catback Corsa system I can hack up

 

Here I was thinking you had something wrong with your F, then I read your post, and it just made my smile. No better car out there!

 

lol, there is something majorly wrong...its too damn AWESOME!

Took it out this morning & killed an STi 3x, once from a light(caught a 2nd gear chirp again)...once from a 60 roll & he insisted on a 40 roll(the F is just vicious from a 40)...good way to start a Sat. morning.

 

All this goes down in Houston and no invite??? Lol

 

lol, I took it to dinner last night & took it to work this morning...any pz meet tonight?

 

I remember the first Road and Track review of the ISF, they claimed a 2nd -> 3rd chirp also. Puts a grin on my face. Try it with the traction control off...

 

Probably not since import reactor was this weekend
